Oh man you cut off the best part, when the father says "I have faith in the Lord. You, I trust. As much as you can trust a teenage boy". That, to me, catapulted my level of respect for that man. He is religious, sure, but not blindly so (ironic, but you get the point)

[@eberlix]

they did that a lot in this show, though House sometimes mocks religion as it may keep the sick away from hospitals, i don't think we ever saw that stage of religious fervor (sure we had that boy who did this later on in the episode, but one may argue it was because of his illness and not because of religion)

[@3atmey]

"God, might have mentioned i was coming" i laughed way more than i should have at this :)) This episode was epic from start to finish. But my favorite line by far was: "Faith, thats another word for ignorance, isnt it?" Just brutal // and this line too: "..trust has to be earned..." this episode was outstanding!

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

"But my favorite line by far was: 'Faith, thats another word for ignorance, isnt it?'" I actually didn't like that line. Ignorance is an absence of knowledge/information. One can be filled to the brim with knowledge and information and still have faith--often enabled by a knack for cognitive dissonance. MY favorite line was, "Trust has to be earned. You can't trust someone hiding in a closet." And when the boy shows his impressive perception by retorting, "You don't trust anyone," he also totally sidesteps House's on-the-nose takedown of a fundamental underpinning of faith.

[@creatip123]

@@KZbinallowedmynametobestolen also, faith is sometimes interchanged with trust, isn't it? Like, "you can do it, I have faith in you" Cmiiw. Non native speaker here....

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

@@creatip123 Yes, it is used that way as well. But when we're talking about religion and religiosity, it usually means a way of believing--kind of "believing because it feels true." (Or at least that's my take on it.) ALSO: Thanks for teaching me "cmiiw." That was new to me!

[@musicallytalented16]

Faith is not ignorance. It's trusting in what you don't understand and know but with limited information you know it's true. You trust. Just like you trust the bus driver to get you to your destination without an accident occurring. Faith is trusting in God.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

@@musicallytalented16 "Faith is not ignorance.” True. Neither is it the opposite of ignorance. There can be one, the other, or both. "It's trusting in what you don't understand and know but with limited information you know it's true." You are misusing (and devaluing) the word "know." If you have faith in something, you may FEEL it's true. But you don't KNOW it's true. Big--and important--difference. If we use the word "know" the way you are suggesting, then Christians know their beliefs are true, and Muslims know their beliefs are true, and Hindus, and all the other religions--including hundreds you've never even heard of--all "know" that their beliefs are true. What is that kind of "knowledge" worth? "You trust. Just like you trust the bus driver to get you to your destination without an accident occurring." No, not just like that. That is a very different kind of trust. Same word, but used with two very different meanings. "Faith is trusting in God." This seems like a reasonable statement.

I think you missed the best part at the end when the father decides to go with being a parent over being religious finally. “I have faith in the Lord. You I trust. As much as you can trust a 15 year old boy”

[@annataymond9529]

That’s not being a parent OVER being religious that’s just being a parent and being religious.

[@Equinox1066]

@@annataymond9529 I think the dilemma here is that his ‘religious duty’ means that he believes his son is hearing the word of God, so when his son says “Don’t let them treat me, this is God’s will” there lies the conflict between his duty as a parent and his (percieved) religious obligation to obey the ‘word of God’. Also, I’d like to clarify that this by no means reflects real-world religious parent dilemmas, just what is in the show.

[@nathanielhellerstein5871]

Having faith in the Lord, that's religion. Doubting a teenager, that's philosophy.

[@Su2602-7]

Being a good parent and having faith in God goes hand in hand. God has dictated the 10 commandments which dictates the human moral compass to this day and for all the days to come.

Chase said the kid had low sodium. He eats a lot of fast food which is very high in sodium so that would unusual.

[@andromedatonks60]

Good point. I think the low sodium (and dilute urine) were due to the fact that he was drinking huge quantities of water. It’s not shown in this video, but House brings it up right after the scene at 3:40 when the dad brings the kid water. I’m not a doctor though, so idk if there’s some connection between low sodium and the ultimate diagnosis.

[@krzysztofzwolinski956]

These episodes convince me that most of a people don't get idea of religion. In one hand we have fanatics and lunatics, on the other we have compulsive deniers or cynical offenders. And House is absolutely right saying that if "God is speaking to you"... Everybody tries to fit the idea of higher force with their limited understanding of the universe, well because we are humans. Christ is depicted as "healer of souls", that doesn't imply that faith should block standard and science based treatment. That's another problem that many people are convinced that religion and science stand in opposition. Well, they depict the same reality, just different aspects of them, therefore there aren't any contradictions. Even more, from point of view of Christianity, you it's your moral responsibility to go see doctors and try every possible treatment to preserve your life as long as possible

[@colouur4778]

Exactly, I hate it when Christians are depicted this way, it turns people away.

[@Monitice]

It always makes me confused when I see religious fanatics deny science when at it's very core basis when it was first conceived, was to understand the creations of god with facts and research rather than just pure belief and faith. Like I'm atheist, but there's nothing that makes faith and science incompatible with eachother. If you're intelligent, you can see how they could go hand in hand.

[@neutrino78x]

@@Monitice they do, for people who think there is a God out there but aren't fanatics. That's most of us who think there is a God out there.

[@justsomeguy8385]

"Compulsive deniers?" If you refuse to believe in something that has not been demonstrated to even exist, then that is completely justified. And if you refuse to believe that someone's supposed religious experience was in something supernatural, that is justified as well. The human brain is complex and fallible, so even if someone truly believes they experienced some kind of divine being or a miracle, they could be totally wrong. That's hardly "compulsive denial." You can't even argue that is denial at all, since rejecting a claim is not the same as denying it. If you tell me you are a Trillionaire, and I don't believe you, I'm not denying that you are a Trillionaire.
